CAPO 4 standard tuning
Play this one with a capo on 4 to make it sound just like the record.
I saw Damien the other night in Atlanta play this song with these exact
chords with a capo on 6, but that's not the way he does it on the record.
The whole song is based around a C chord and what I call a Fadd4*
(play this one from low to high: 0-3-3-2-1-0). The entire song follows
a very simple picking pattern that I have tabbed below:
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|----------0----------0------0----------0-----------|
D|------2------2----------0------0-----------2-------|
A|------3----------3-----------------3---------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
Repeat this and then switch to the Fadd4* and play a similar picking pattern
on it.
Improv on this one a bit, or listen to the record to do it exactly as Damien
does it.
Then, go back into the picking pattern on C, lifting your second finger on
and off of the
fourth string second fret as tabbed above. Also, be sure to hammer back onto
the fourth
string occasionally in the verses. For instance, one should hammer on the
word "brother's"
in the first verse, "asked" in the second, "spies" in the third, "man" in the
fourth, and
"Jackie" in the last.
-------
C
It just so happens I have many concerns
My brother's down the road and my lover in town
Fadd4*
They both need affection
C
And some kind of love
Fadd4*
Well I'm the one who gives it at any given time
